I didn't know you were such a vampire

Afternoon is the most dynamic time in a city. At this time, the sun has the warmest temperature, and it is like a stream of water. There are sporadic groups of white pigeons flying across the narrow sky above the street, bringing out A fleeting reflection.On the docks and squares of the city, there is a continuous flow of people, as well as layers of Tuscan dialects.

At this time, someone among the pedestrians on the street suddenly yelled in one direction, and then everyone looked in that direction, only to see a petite young man in thin clothes walking slender legs, galloping across the red roof.

Although it can be judged that he is not very old just by his figure, his movements are extremely agile and his movements are also extremely flexible. The roof of Florence seems to be a wide and flat road extending far away under his feet. Without the slightest obstacle, he stepped on the lintel of the window on the second floor of a house, jumped straight to the top of the awning of the vendor on the first floor, and with this buffer, he rolled down to the ground again.

Pedestrians on the street gave way one after another, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to make a roll on the stone road, and then stabilized his body.

Only at this time did passers-by see a few pale golden hairs under his black turban, as well as his delicate and beautiful facial contours.

"This..." Someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Is this a girl?"

When everyone heard this voice, they subconsciously looked at the thin boy who was half kneeling on the ground, and found a smooth and flat throat above the collar of his shirt.

At this time, Qiao Ya no longer cared about other people staring at her. She opened her mouth slightly, gasped, and raised her head. The sun shyly revealed half of her face on the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in the distance. However, the sunlight on this side made her subconsciously close her eyes.But just this blink of an eye made her tremble. She immediately opened her eyes, shook her head, and ran forward.

Totti Family Bank, in that direction.

Martina fell into a coma after meeting Joya, while Elisa said in a hoarse voice while packing up the clay pots and dinner plates that fell on the ground: "She has been in trouble for the past few days. It’s like this, there is very little time to wake up, and I wake up coughing and coughing, coughing up a lot of blood every time. Ricardo is busy with his affairs during this period, and he comes back very late at night, thinking it is too late every time , she fell asleep naturally..." She said, coughed a few times, and after a long pause, she said, "She told me not to tell Ricardo..."

She stood up, and it was only then that Qiao Ya realized that Grandma Elisa was more stooped and haggard than when she gave her the red dress before.

"I really treat Martina as my daughter. After she fell ill, I was not allowed to take care of her. I always emphasized that my daughter also had tuberculosis. I took care of her for several years and she was fine. Stay and take care of her." Grandma Elisa choked up, "Unexpectedly, I sent away my daughter more than ten years ago, and now I will send away Martina..."

She turned her head and looked at Qiao Ya, but Qiao Ya saw the blood at the corner of her mouth at a glance.

"Grandma Elisa..." Qiao Ya opened her eyes wide.

"Okay, girl, you have met her too, she will be very happy." Grandma Elisa smiled and said with tears in her eyes, "You should leave this room quickly and don't come in again... Even if she If you're dead, don't come in again..."

Qiao Ya was pushed out of the room by Grandma Elisa. She never imagined that this old lady who looked short and thin would have such strength at this time. When the sound of closing the door sounded heavily behind her, she was stunned I was stunned, then I leaned back against the door panel, then slid down weakly and squatted at the door.

After she came to this world, for the first time, she had the urge to cry, but she couldn't.

She squatted at the door of Martina's room for a long time, until the shadow left by the sun on the corridor slightly slanted to the west, she stood up abruptly and rushed downstairs.Lisa and the other three were sitting by the fountain in the atrium with Marco. When they saw her coming downstairs, they immediately stood up. Marco didn't speak much, but just looking into his eyes, she knew this. The younger brother wanted to know something.

She paused, took another step back, and returned to the stairs.

Lisa, who was holding Marco, asked with concern in her eyes: "Miss Joya... May I ask Mrs. Martina..."

Qiao Ya didn't dare to continue listening any longer, she simply turned around and ran upstairs, ran back to her room, changed into the set of clothes she would only wear at night, opened the window of the room, and for the first time, hugged Facing the sun, he jumped off the window sill.

She is going to find Ricardo.

Qiao Ya has never been to Totti Bank, but she knows that there is quite a long distance from Totti's mansion to Totti Bank.

When she gave Marco "The Odyssey" one night, Marco, who usually doesn't talk much, complained rarely that he was taken by Ricardo to the bank to learn banking affairs, and sat in a carriage for a long time.

"But you can see the Medici Academy from Dad's office window," Marko said at the time.

The Medici Academy is an art academy founded by Lorenzo Medici, which aims to cultivate talented artistic talents through systematic art learning.

The school is in the north of Florence, and Totti's residence is in the south of Florence.

Qiao Ya flew straight over the area near the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, and caused quite a commotion wherever she passed. People who were walking on the street gathered around the eaves, facing this flying A girl dressed as a boy has been pointing.And she who was running on the roof didn't know anything about it. Her body had reached the limit of her physical strength, and her breathing rhythm was completely chaotic. By this time, she could no longer control her lungs to breathe freely. Breathe.

And when she ran near the Medici Academy, she felt a sudden blackness in front of her eyes, and the tiles under her feet suddenly became soft. Her knees softened, and she fell down uncontrollably, rolling to the eaves side.

The people under the eaves let out an exclamation, and then retreated one after another, leaving an open space under the eaves, and then watched her fall from the edge of the eaves, and landed heavily on the awning on the first floor. At this time, she was too late Controlling his body to jump and roll to cushion the damage, he had already slid off the wooden awning and rolled onto the stone pavement.

She was still awake, but she just opened her eyes, staring blankly at the sky surrounded by the eaves on both sides of the street.

Until a pair of black boots appeared next to her ears, and a pair of calloused boots stretched out before her eyes, she heard a gentle voice asking: "Miss, do you need help?"

Her pupils slowly rolled to her side, and she saw a young man wearing a hat.

He is of medium build, very young, maybe even younger than Piero, his appearance is not handsome, his facial features can only be described as delicate, his brows are high, his eyes are full of sadness, but there is a smile on the corner of his mouth. But it is very real, giving people a gentle but slightly introverted feeling.

His appearance brought Joya back from a state of prostration. She slowly came back to her senses. Instead of holding his hand, she put her hands on the ground and moved her body slowly. Slowly stand up.

"It's okay." She replied, then gritted her teeth and stood up.

The young man was not dissatisfied because his outstretched hand was ignored by her. Instead, he withdrew his hand, watched her stand up with a smile, and said, "There is a doctor at the corner of the street over there, let me take you there to have a look." ?”

"No need." Qiao Ya shook her head.He staggered and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "Do you know where the Totti Family Bank is?"

The Totti Family Bank is just opposite the Medici Academy. It is a rather imposing four-story building. The door of the bank is still open, but from the outside, there are not many people left in the hall. A middle-aged man is Standing indoors, pulling the door, ready to close it.

This point is far from the time when banks should close.

Qiao Ya hurriedly thanked the young man who brought her here, and ran towards the bank gate without waiting for his response.Her ankle was sprained when she fell from the eaves, and when the sole of her foot touched the ground, she could feel a piercing pain. When he reached the door, he supported the door with one hand, leaving a small gap.

The middle-aged man stopped suddenly, glanced at her, and said, "Totti Bank is closed early today. If you want to handle business, please come back tomorrow."

"I'm looking for Mr. Ricardo Totti." Qiao Ya said, with a look of anxiety between her brows and eyes, "There is an emergency at his home."

The middle-aged man frowned: "Mr. Totti has gone home first." He paused, "Just 10 minutes ago."

15 minutes ago...

At that time, she had just fallen from a roof not far away and lost consciousness briefly.

Qiao Ya was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she just missed Ricardo.

After thanking the porter, she immediately turned her head and ran in the direction she came from.

The return trip was much smoother than the previous trip. She had already figured out the jumping and climbing points of this route, and she was refreshed. She didn't fall from the house in a trance like when she came. She ran across the Lord's Square and hit Several missionaries who were preaching on the street ran for a long time along the Arno River, crossed the Ponte Vecchio, and saw a car parked at the entrance of Totti's mansion from a distance. Emblem carriage.

She was about to run over there, but when she passed an alley, someone grabbed her arm, covered her mouth with the other hand, and pulled her into the dark alley.

Her mind was blank at first, then she came back to her senses, and then began to struggle.

The hands that held her were tightened, and then she heard a slightly familiar voice ringing in her ears: "Miss Joa Borgia, don't be afraid, it's me."

She turned her head and saw the priest she had just seen on the Lord's Square a few days ago.

He still had a smile on his face, and said softly: "You can't go there now." As if he didn't feel Qiao Ya's struggle, he continued, "Mr. Ricardo Totti, was arrested on suspicion of assassinating the former Lord Lord. The standard-bearer of justice ordered the arrest. All the people in Totti's mansion will not escape the disaster of prison."

Joya's eyes widened.

"Oh, there is one exception." The priest said again, "Mrs. Martina of the Totti family seems to have passed away before the guards arrived."
